2004 RX8 w/Blown Coolant Seal - $2500 OBO. (Montreal OR maybe Mississauga)

Hi,

I am selling a 2004 RX8 w/Blown Coolant Seal for $2500 OBO. I may be willing to drop the price further if you let me keep the stereo and/or keep the summer tires. You can see full details of car below. Highlights are BHR Racing Coils, Brand New Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires, After market rims, top of the line after market stereo, after market double din NAV unit, iphone hook-up. Full details below.

I am currently on an out-of-province road trip (Mississauga to quebec) and unfortunately the coolant seal just went on my car. The engine still runs and the car starts fine but it leaks water/coolant. The car is currently at Mazda Gabriel in Montreal, QC. On monday, I expect them to confirm the seal is blown. Then I will possibly try to drive the car back home to Mississauga and top up the radiator with water every 20-30 minutes.

Hi.

Mods can delete this thread.

(For those interested... I lucked out and the dealership managed to save my car by unplugging some "cement" in my radiator lines and replacing my thermostat. I made the mistake of putting in additional stop-leak fluid when I topped up my coolant before my trip.)

I am going to keep the car for now...
